I think a good way of putting it is that the LC idea of being "blended" requires that each member have the same function, even being identical to one another, in contradiction of Rom 12:4. There is no room for each member to have a unique function. People who have their own publications get shut down. People who write their own songs get shut down. The list goes on. That is why I am a little hesitant about the word "blended". Not because it's an incorrect translation, but because of the hidden LC meaning.

Now that is something clearly different. They have changed the meaning of "blend" in English.
